Aug 7 Red Beans and Rice with Sausage

Ahhhh red beans and rice, Cajun comfort food. They are creamy and delicious. They are great paired with fried chicken, a pork chop, or corn bread or all on their own. They are economical and are great for the day before payday. Traditionally made on Mondays, but we eat em anytime we want. Plus, they're kind of good for you. BONUS!

I'm making them in the Crockpot, but they can be made on the stove as well. Just soak the beans the night before, if you're cooking them on the stove top, and cook for 2 hours or so over medium heat, stirring often and adding water or stock when needed.

They should look kind of like this, partially mashed, but you can still see some whole beans. Adjust your seasonings here, and let it continue to cook, while you are cooking your rice. I added another tablespoon of Slap ya Mama, and a little more garlic powder, but add however much seasoning you like.
